Montana, Montana, Glory of the Seas Documentary to Air Statewide
On Saturday, February 22, at 6PM Montanans across Big Sky Country will be able to watch a powerful, informative and fun new television documentary about the first and new USS MONTANA warships – and our state’s unique relationship with the US Navy for more than one hundred years.
Montana, Montana, Glory of the Seas, will be televised at 6PM on the Scripps MTN CBS stations serving Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, Missoula and their surrounding areas on the 22nd.
The documentary was produced by Great Falls native Craig Wirth whose popular programs have provided unique stories about Montana and the West for many years. This one focuses on the USS MONTANA (SSN 794) nuclear-powered fast attack submarine that just joined the Pacific Fleet, but also the legacy it inherits from the first USS MONTANA, Armored Cruiser Number 13, that was commissioned in 1908. And it shows the connections among these warships with the Montanans who have supported them despite the Treasure State’s landlocked status. It is a heartwarming story of Montanans’ support of our military.
